Ep 32: What To Do When You Feel Discouraged Jun 24, 2018

Show notes

It's normal to feel discouraged when things aren't turning out the way you'd planned but that doesn't mean it's fun! But the thing is - if you quit and give up, you're only creating more discouragement. Which is exactly what you're trying to avoid. So learning how to manage your mind is SO important.

In this episode I'm sharing:

- What creates the feeling of discouragement and how to get yourself out of that emotion

- Why it's normal to feel discouraged when you start something new and how to manage your expectations without losing hope or aiming too low

- How setting effort-based goals, rather than results-based goals, can help you persist through the initial stages of something new

- Why gratitude is so powerful and simple ways to practice it

- And more!

If you've been feeling discouraged when it comes to growing your blog, make sure you find out more and sign up for my Grow Your Blog Workshop by clicking here. Registration will close strictly at midnight (EDT) on Friday, 29 June 2018 and I'll be teaching you everything you need to do to set your blog up for success (as well as how to deal with fear of judgement and perfectionism).

And as usual, you can find everything mentioned in this podcast episode in the show notes.

Ep 31: How To Read More Books Jun 17, 2018

Show notes

After spending the last two weeks listening to just about every seminar Jim Rohn ever gave (thanks YouTube!) I've been inspired to dedicate time to reading everyday.

Even though I love reading, in the past I've really struggled to make consistent time for it and I've always had a lot of very good reasons (excuses) as to why I can't fit it in. But I'm managed to get back into the habit by making a few key mindset shifts and doing a few very simple things, so I thought I'd share them with you! So in this podcast episode, I'm sharing how to read more books. I hope you find it helpful!

Ep 30: 7 Fears I Had Before I Started Blogging Jun 04, 2018

Show notes

I started Smart Twenties in 2013 and at the time, I had no confidence in myself whatsoever. Starting a blog brought up insecurities I never even knew I had and those insecurities kept me small and stuck for a long time.

Five years on, I still struggle with many of the insecurities I had when I first started but I've learned how to manage them and how to keep myself moving forward. In this episode, I share the biggest lessons I've learned and how you can move past your fears - if you have the same ones I had!

Ep 29: An Update On My 2018 Impossible Goal May 27, 2018

Show notes

At the beginning of 2018, I set myself an 'impossible' goal of making $500,000 in my business. The first 5 months of 2018 have been a rollercoaster ride filled with failure and self-sabotage, so I thought I'd share it all with you.

I've learned an incredible amount about myself and my beliefs already, as well as what it means to work towards a goal without knowing exactly how you're going to achieve it. I hope you find this helpful and if you're working towards a big goal, I have no doubt you'll be able to relate. To find out more make sure you visit the show notes.

Bonus: Failing On Purpose And Gratitude-Fueled Ambition May 26, 2018

Show notes

I asked you guys if you'd like me to chat about personal development on Instagram Live (@smarttwenties) and you said yes! But some of you said it's hard to find the time so I thought I'd put it all of it up on the podcast too!

In this episode, I'm sharing some of the thoughts behind two of my popular instagram quotes (since the captions never give me enough room). Here are the quotes I'm chatting about:

"It's always wise to ask yourself whether you're failing on purpose to avoid failing at your purpose."

"To get what you want, you must be grateful for what you have. Otherwise, you'll always be waiting for more - even when you get it."

I hope you guys enjoy this style of episode and as always, I'd love you to let me know if you do! I'll be putting one of these up every time I've done a couple of Instagram Lives. And if you're not already following me on instagram, make sure you find me at @smarttwenties!

Ep 28: 5 Reasons You Can't Figure Out What You Want May 20, 2018

Show notes

If you don't know what you want, it's insanely hard to get it. And while we all know that intellectually, many of us are still blocking ourselves from finding the answer - without even knowing!

In this episode, I'm share 5 reasons you can't figure out what you want as well as the way that I've blocked myself from creating goals in the past. I hope you find it helpful!

And as always, this episode is part of a series on this topic. I've written a blog post about how to figure out what you want, created a free workbook to walk you through each of the life-changing exercises and filmed a YouTube video that will help you see why you've been holding yourself back.

Ep 27: How I Stopped Caring What People Think May 13, 2018

Show notes

The fear of what people think is one that controls many of our lives. Even though we intellectually know that it doesn't matter what people think, we still find ourselves bending over backwards for approval again and again.

In this episode, I'm sharing my journey with the fear of what people think and the exercises and breakthroughs that have helped me overcome that fear. I hope you find it helpful!

And as always, this episode is part of a series on this topic. I've written a blog post about how to stop caring what people think, created a free workbook to walk you through the journaling exercises that will help you take this to the next level and a Youtube video that will help you keep moving forward while your fear is still there. You can find it all in the show notes.

Ep 26: The Power of Self-Image May 06, 2018

Show notes

So many of us work so hard towards our goals without realising that the opinion we have of ourselves is causing us to self-sabotage and stop ourselves from achieving them. It's something I've really started to see in my own life and I have no doubt you'll be able to relate to what I'm talking about in this episode!

In this episode I share the aspects of my self-image that have been stopping me from being successful, from struggling to identify myself as an entrepreneur (and even a blogger), to seeing myself as a disorganised person that's always late and being bad with money. I also chat about the things I'm doing on a daily basis to reshape my identity and how you can do it too! This is part of a series on self-image. If you'd like to learn more about it, check out the show notes where I share my blog post on 5 Steps To Change Your Self-Image as well as my YouTube video on 3 Reasons You're Not Achieving Your Goals and my guide to walk you through the process of taking control of your self-image so you can achieve your goals.

In this episode I'm sharing 10 ways that you might be blocking yourself from success (don't feel bad - I'm guilty of all of them) and I also share which ones I'm currently working on in my business, as I haven't got this all figured out yet!
